Question:
I want to install the Bargman 5th wheel wiring harness in my 2018 Ram 2500 SB. It has a factory drop-in bedliner. Any suggestions on where to install the plug with the bed-liner?

Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Ram 2500 short bed, I recommend the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 7' Long # C56070. This will allow you to install the plug anywhere you desire. Many people will install it near the tailgate on the driver's side. The drop-in bed liner doesn't add any issue to the install other than another layer to drill your hole through and using longer screws to mount.
